The first big bad of the series, and one of the more intriguing parts of the whole mythology of the show. Plus, you gotta love that custom armor...

Some people discount NMM as a villain because she used such kid's gloves in dealing with the Mane Six after talking a big game, but I always liked the idea that part of Celestia's big gambit was to have her sister use up a significant amount of her power to trap her in the sun, forcing the escaped Princess of the Night to take less direct methods in trying to stop Twilight and her friends. Regardless of her effectiveness as a villain in a children's show (a handicapped role if there ever was one), Luna's darker side remains a favorite... Love her Shadowbolts as well, even if she did technically make up the entire team herself. I'm really looking forward to revisiting her in Season 4.

Flash Fire: Ah. Definitely do not want to remember that face. Dragonking17: Oh common you know she is just Luna or in another way Nyx. Flash Fire: Hey trust me seeing your daughter corrupted by her own jealousy of her sister is not a pretty sight.

I stand by your theory, except that she's actually fighting Luna for control of the body as well, so any power she had is all focused on maintaining control, so you can't exactly do much in the physical realm.

Ah, my favorite villainess gets a nice portrait done by the same studio too, but it looks like someone forgot to put the sun logo.. oh.. OH! Yes, Mistress of the Night, your moon is lovely and there should be no other resident of the firmament on your card. I love her sharp-toothed expression here because it says that she's bad and nasty and all but at the same time she'd never actually hurt anyone. Maybe that's even scarier because it means she'd be much more creative in her badness, but either way most know better than to mess with her.

A tip of my hat to you good sir, because this is by far your best Portrait! I feel as though you nailed the essence of this character 100%. Everything from the glaring eyes to the evil grin was done with such finesse and attention to detail I can't help but marvel at it. Also to say that mane absolutely blew me away wouldn't even begin to do it true justice. It is simply astonishing. Thank you so much for this!!

That furious look. That shading accentuating it and the predatory muzzle shape. So beautiful and fearful. Well done!

And indeed, I like that little piece of knowledge that Celestia sorta set Nightmare Moon up with that gambit. It's very much Celestia: act from behind the scenes, perhaps indirectly, but have a direct and tangible effect on the course of events.

Hey I was wondering if maybe you could make a back for these, kinda like if they were playing cards. It's totally OK if you don't want to. When I saw the first one you made, the idea of making a card set popped into my head. You've got to admit, it would look awesome XD

Ugh, sorry about my grammar. I just realized how awful that sounds when you read it out loud XD, Let me try again: Could you please make some backs for these, because I thought that they might look cool as playing cards. It's OK if you don't want to though, I understand. (phew! I hate Grammar XD)
